Hello there. I've just found this site, having started turning just a few weeks ago. I bought a midi-lathe (MC1018) and a boxed set of six basic tools and presto- my workshop has changed forever! I joined the local turning club and completed a series of six weekly lessons. I found that experience invaluable but have now turned (pun intended) mostly to making pens, which is immensely satisfying and I find it very good for building confidence in using the tools. Yes, I make plenty of mistakes but I learn something from every one of them. Youtube is great (I recommend Mike Waldt's beginner series for novices like me) but doing is the best teacher, I think. Something tells me I'm going to pick up a lot of knowledge from the good folks on this site!
